Mark 3:31-35. There came then his brethren and his mother Having at length made their way through the crowd, so as to come to the door. His brethren are here named first, as being first and most earnest in the design of taking him; for neither did these of his brethren believe on him. They sent to him, calling him They sent one into the house, who called him aloud by name. Looking round on them who sat about him With the utmost sweetness: he said, Behold my mother and my brethren... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 3:34
And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.This was called by Clarke "the adoption of the obedient"![12] It should never be lost sight of that, in the last analysis, it is obedience to the will of God that separates the saved from the lost. Undue stress upon the doctrine of justification by faith, making it read, "by faith only," has obscured this fact in... read more

B. The increasing rejection of Jesus and its result 3:20-4:34As Jesus’ ministry expanded, so did rejection of Him as God’s anointed servant. Mark documented the increasing rejection that Jesus experienced (Mark 3:20-35) and then explained that Jesus taught the multitudes in parables as a result (Mark 4:1-34). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 3:20-35
1. The increasing rejection of Jesus 3:20-35Mark again returned to the opposition theme (cf. Mark 2:1 to Mark 3:6). He directed his readers back and forth between Jesus’ acceptance on a superficial level by the multitudes, His disciples’ growing commitment to Him, and the increasing hostility of the religious leaders. This structural pattern highlights the contrasts between the three groups.In this section Mark used a chiastic structure to show two different kinds of opposition that Jesus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 3:32-34
The multitude sitting around Jesus evidently consisted of a group of His disciples (Mark 3:34). Jesus’ question focused on the quality of relationship with Himself. He meant, Who are the sort of people who are my family? Again Jesus looked around, but this time affectionately (cf. Mark 3:5). He identified His disciples as those closest to Him. This would have been a startling statement to Jesus’ hearers because the Jews valued natural family relationships highly. Jesus was not repudiating... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 3:35
Divine relationships. I. HOW FAR RESEMBLING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS . 1 . In laying down the condition of Divine relationship , Christ does not absolutely displace human relationships. It would have been hard for him so to do, since men were being addressed, and the relationships sustained by them would depend upon the religious sanction they might possess for the measure of honor and faithful observance they would receive. That the terms of human relationship were still... read more
